ZW has a crew base in Dayton. Not sure if that would indicate anything as far as their transition.
Interestingly, PSA airlines is based out of Dayton and flies for American.
I suspect ZW will close the DAY base. The American announcement said ZW would be flying "primarily from Chicago". Maybe PSA continues to handle the Dayton flights?
The Mesa element of the changes makes it more interesting, especially with the announcement that they would be operating out of DEN. That means UA needs someone to pick up slack in ORD and points east. Mesa out of DEN may free up some SkyWest crews for ORD routes. Hopefully we don't just trade ZW CR2s for OO CR2s!
